What's the difference between a 310 and a 323? I think they are almost the same, but the 310 is older. Anybody now?

i'm no expert but since corn pickers are one of my favorites, i'll try taking an uneducated guess. i believe [having not seen the 2 side by side] the 323 has the rubber paddles in the husking bed and husking rolls which are half rubber. no i might be wrong , but the rubber husking rolls could be an option until later. but i think those 2 things are what seperated the 2 pickers. i had a 325 myself. [2 row]but the cost of the rubber *spider* wheels could be a little stiff ! if they worked the same , ithink i would have preferred the paddles in which a replacement could be made from a cut piece of an old tire. kind of feel the same about the husking rolls. at least you wouldnt have to worry about having rubber rings pressed onto the rools. if the are all steel and husked the same. couldnt tell the difference between the all steel ones on my #7 and the rubber ones on the 325 2 row picker. but the rubber ones were wore on my 325. as long as you have a super picker you should do all right. the older styles of pickers shelled a lot in the row where the ear of corn was snapped off the stalk. according to the powers that be and their way of measuring , it should haveup to 16 bushels and acre for the older style pickers. i figured i paid for my newer style superpicker in 2-3 years on shelled corn savings. of course if you have decent fences and livestock you can recoupe some of those losses. the older pickers needed the snapping rolls set at a higher angle.this shelling was one of the main reasons farmers went to shelled corn. that and handling . of course if the companies hadnt been so reluctant to change and improve design , after the first year or two they could have changed the angles and corrected problems such as this. no one really designed any machinery that i know of to make ear corn handling and harvesting easier and faster so everyone jumped on the combine , shelled corn band wagon. now we have to pay to dry corn which used to dry down in cribs. if you fed to livestock there really wasnt much reason to go to shelled corn. i have a sheller on my feed grinder for ear corn that's to be made into pig or chicken fed.hope this helped. just my personal experience and opinion. hopefully someone who knows more can add to this.

Does the 'Superpicker' have a model number, or was it just a 'superpicker'? What was the last model # NI picker?

323 1-row, 324 2RW, 325 2RN, and 330 3RN were the last of the line. I think production finally ended in 1987. Superpicker was the general term for this family, which at one time also included the 319 2-row mounted. Don't ask me about the husker unit numbers, I'm not sure what went on what. 326 I think was the 8 roll bed and 327 was the 12-roll bed . . . 329 was the sheller unit?
